In this eye-opening episode, we explore the strange new world of engineered eating: from CRISPR-edited cows and methane-tweaked microbes to 3D-printed steaks, lab-grown salmon, mammoth meatballs, and even cell-cultured chocolate.

Are these creations the future of sustainable food…or a sign that we’ve lost touch with nature?

Join us as we peel back the shiny marketing to ask the real questions: What is food? Who controls it? And what happens when your steak requires a software update?

This weeks’ Community Question:

“If you were at a dinner party at a friend’s house and they served cell-cultured meat, would you eat it?”

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement isn’t just a slogan—it’s turning into a groundswell. Patients are asking for natural remedies, states are pushing bans on potentially toxic food chemicals, and even YouTube has acknowledged it censored Americans at the behest of the government. The spark is crossing borders, too, as Europe begins its own “Make Europe Healthy Again” push.

In this episode, Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina map how Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Ag are responding—and where the counter-moves may land next. Think “rented trust” via influencers, preemption bills that override tougher state rules, front groups with friendly names, and policy shifts that could reshape what we see, buy, and believe about health.

No doom. No cheerleading. Just a look at what’s changing, how to spot the red flags, and practical ways to stay informed without being duped.

We want to hear from you! This week’s Community Question:

“Can you name two things in the last two years that you have stopped buying?
